With a little less than three minutes remaining in Mondays game against Gravette, the Berryville Lady Bobcats had a prime opportunity to throw in the towel and head into the offseason.
But thats not the Lady Bobcats style.
Instead, Berryville responded to the late-game adversity by cranking up their defensive intensity and outscored Gravette 9-2 over the final 2:37 to secure a 54-49 victory in the quarterfinals of the 4A-1 district tournament. The win moves the Lady Bobcats into a district semifinal game Tuesday night at Pea Ridge but more importantly clinches a spot for Berryville in next weeks district tournament at Ozark.
